About the Event
Come for support, to support, or just for a yummy meal with friends and family.
- This is a safe and welcoming Thanksgiving holiday for those who need a place to be themselves and share a traditional Thanksgiving/Holiday meal.
- All are invited to come whether you're LGBTQ or an ally.
- No photographs will be allowed without consent, so this will truly be a safe place to go and be out if you can't be that with your family.
- This event will be alcohol-free and kid-friendly.
- We will have fundraising (raffle/silent auction) and donation opportunities to help us with creating our youth drop-in center in partnership with Friendship United Methodist Church and Partners in Pride Wellness Center.
Please pre-register by getting a free ticket, and indicate whether you are able to bring a dish to pass and any allergies or dietary restrictions/preferences by answering the questions during checkout.
The main course is provided by Bolingbrook Pride (Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, and Vegan Main) but all the sides are brought by our family (that's you!). Food should be labeled with any allergens so that everyone can safely partake in the feast. If you are unable to bring food please consider a monetary donation if you are able. Neither is a requirement, but either or both would be appreciated.
The location will be emailed to attendees within 3 days of the event. We can't wait to enjoy a meal together!
